I had this incredible idea and i dun know how to implemnt it. I want to create an external graphics card(i have no idea how to make 1) attached via USB port which can run games(not the current released versions but games made for this graphics card) ppl with shitty graphics card would not have to waste money on new cards. Although they will not be able to play new games made to run on Nvidia/Ati graphics card. The biggest problem i'm facing now is how to display all these 3d calculations of images or models onto the desktop.

There're USB gfx adapters out there currently. The problem is that USB bandwidth is so low they're limited to IIRC 1024x768x16x60hz and still stutter anytime the USB bus is being hit hard by anything else or the CPU is busy doing something else. Firewire800 might have enough bandwidth to make a semi decent gfx adapter but you'd only be able to sell it to the 3 people who have firewire800 ports. USB3 with it's gigabit optical connection might work (if it doesn't strangle the host CPU) but is several years away.

wow ur knowledge about this stuff amazes me. I want to create a device like PSP with my own graphics i have no idea where to get the components. I know it uses the MIPS microprocessor with ATi/nivida GPU(not sure which one). Is it possible for an individual to make their own GPU card.

actually, I just looked at a few reviews of USB gfx adaptors recently hoping I could add a 3rd display to my laptop. You're on your own with the PSP type device.

I never even considered looking for such a thing, for second display for my laptop. Its own display is broken, and it costs half the price of a new one to repair, plus ten days minimum downtime. I won't be buying another one for a few months yet, so a USB gfx adapter could be an option.

unfortunately they (and thier slightly better performing PC card brethren) have rotten performance and cost a few hundred bucks.
